Tips

Never get floor seats at the Pond unless you are a petite person. My husband and I, while average height and build, got floor seats a couple of years ago and had to ask to be moved. I felt as though I was gonna pass out we were so closely packed in together.

Also, the arena is not really built for good sound quality, so we're careful who we see here.

The upside to this venue is the suites. If you can sit in one while viewing a concert, circus, hockey game or whatever else is there, that's the way to go. First class!
